Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the Microsoft Secure Score?
Microsoft Secure Score is a built-in measurement of an organization's security posture. It analyzes your Microsoft 365 services and configurations, assigning a numerical score based on how many recommended security controls you have actively implemented.
What is considered a "Good" Secure Score for SMBs?
While perfectly achieving 100% is neither realistic nor functional, organizations aiming for robust security and attempting to pass third-party audits (like Aramco SACS-002) should aggressively target and maintain a score above 65%.
Do I need Global Admin rights to view my score?
Yes. To access the Microsoft 365 Defender portal and accurately assess your corporate Secure Score using this infographic guide, your account must possess either Global Administrator or Security Administrator privileges.
How quickly will changes reflect on my Secure Score dashboard?
After actively implementing a recommended security control (such as enforcing MFA across all users), it typically requires approximately 24 to 48 hours for Microsoft's backend telemetry to register the change and update your visual score.
Does a high score automatically guarantee compliance?
A high Secure Score drastically reduces your attack surface and signifies strong baseline hygiene, but it does not automatically grant compliance. Formal certifications require specific governance architectures and policy logging that fall outside Microsoft algorithms.
